Academic Choices | 3 International Brochure 2016.indd 3 11/03/2016 09:18 English Language Support Our aim at Ellesmere College is to make sure that international students learn far more than the ability to communicate in English. Specialist teachers offer a variety of individual programmes to help every student develop a depth of understanding, enabling each to get the most from their studies. English as an Additional language (EAL) Our specially-trained teachers work closely with students who need to increase their English level as quickly as possible. Each student is supported with classes in small groups to develop their English speaking, listening, reading and writing skills. For some students, this means small group sessions are offered instead of some mainstream lessons if staff believe it will be of greater benefit. International English Language Testing System (IELTS) IELTS is the preferred English language qualification of all UK universities. In Years 12 and 13 students have group and one-to-one tuition to prepare them for the exam. To study the International Baccalaureate at Ellesmere College an IELTS score of 5.5 across all areas is the minimum standard needed with the required IELTS score of 5.0 across all areas for A-Levels. 4 | English Language Support International Brochure 2016.indd 4 11/03/2016 09:18 English Language Support Accommodation Ellesmere College provides a friendly and warm environment with family values at its heart.

One of the Prefect’s many roles is to help younger or newer students settle in to school life and help with any day to day problems or questions.

  • A Player Centred Experience 2 Ellesmere Sport - a Player Centred Experience
    Co-ed 7-18 Day and Boarding Sport a Player Centred Experience 2 Ellesmere Sport - A Player Centred Experience Ellesmere College Sports Philosophy Sports Philosophy Sport is a contest fought on the battleground of the body, the mind and the heart. It teaches vital self-knowledge and lessons which endure a lifetime. This is what defines its value. Sport provides a unique opportunity to develop life-skills and learn life lessons that are difficult to replicate in other settings. At Ellesmere, our students play their hearts out for the sheer joy of it. We want them to express themselves through skill and risk, courage and cool-headedness. We actively encourage players of all abilities and standards - from those who do it for the fun of it, to those who excel at Olympic standard. Some are simply superb. Yes, we attract the best - those who join our Academies, then go on to represent their county and their country. In inter-school team competitions we ride high. In the last five years Ellesmerians have achieved international recognition in Mr I Williams hockey, cricket, rugby, swimming, sailing, canoeing, tennis and shooting. Director of Sport Our highly-qualified coaches never lose sight of the following vital fact: there’s no point if it’s no fun. They encourage everyone to play at the level at which they are comfortable but challenge them to take it as far as they can master. Achievement, self-awareness, friendship, fun and self-confidence are some of the benefits of our well-managed and varied games programme. These long-term goals are at the forefront of our coaching philosophy and not the short term self-gratification of a win at all costs attitude.
